In North America outdoor living includes eating outdoors, which in turn means barbecuing. When one is thinking about cooking outdoors, Nash Shivji

of The BBQ Shop in Port Coquitlam is the person to call. Twenty-fi ve years in the business means there is nothing this gentleman doesn’t know about the subject.

“Some very interesting things are hap-pening in the business. One of the big things is reasonably priced barbecues are now available with many of the features previously only available on high-priced models, features like rotisserie and rear burn-ers,” Shivji says. “Barbecues priced around $1,000, made in Canada or the U.S. ... are very well built with lots of bells and whis-tles. We scour suppliers to source out North American-built product. ... They are very well built and they come with a good war-ranty. There are some exceptions but readers in the market for a new barbecue, or other outdoor cooking product, should make sure the product is well made by a known brand, ... has a warranty and that replacement parts are available.”

Shivji has a word of caution for people in the market for a new natural gas barbecue: check that the fi ttings are compatible with your home connection. It is frustrating for the person who has to go from store to store trying to match up the couplings.

Shivji has plenty of advice for people looking to purchase a new barbecue.

“First, make sure there is the good ten-year warranty which means the manu-facturer will stand behind their product. Secondly, the way the burners and valves are placed in the barbecue is very impor-tant. You need precision so that they heat evenly across the whole area. ... When you want high heat for searing meat or low heat for a roast you want to be able to count on your barbecue to deliver. Look for a manu-facturer whose primary business is building barbecues; they are up on the new technol-ogy and the materials they use are very solid and stable. Thirdly, if you like to use

the rotisserie for roasts or chicken, look for a rear burner which will give you the even heat you need in exactly the right place.”

You should decide exactly how you are going to use your new barbecue. If the ex-tent of your interest is hamburgers and hot dogs, simple is better. But if all your warm-weather cooking is done on the barbie, something more sophisticated is in order.

After twenty-fi ve years in the business, Shivji is still passionate. He feels he is not just selling barbecues but helping families have a great experience which will encour-age more get-togethers with family, friends and neighbours.

One of the best things anyone can do for themselves is grow as much of their own food as possible. I am so passionate about this I have 54

12’ x 4’ raised beds on my property. I love being able to grow a lot of my food. I refer to my veggie garden as my forty-foot diet, not only because it is obviously healthy to pick organically grown food out of my own garden but because I also love the feeling of being as self-sustaining as possible.

I know I am blessed living on enough property to grow so much but you will be amazed at how much you can grow in a smaller space, even on a balcony. You are not going to grow tons of different veg-etables but what about concentrating on growing all your own salad fi xings? There are some great decorative tubs available and your secret weapon is how much you can grow vertically and in hanging baskets.

My go-to person on all things regarding growing organic vegetables is the amazing Carolyn Herriot. She wrote The Zero-Mile Diet, which is a year-round guide to grow-ing fabulous veggies.

“The very fi rst thing, and the most important, is to build great soil. Everything starts with the soil; you can’t have great vegetables and fruit if they can’t pull nutri-tion from the earth,” Herriot says. “Save all your vegetable and fruit scraps, rake up your fallen leaves in the fall, all your grass clippings, and pile in your compost bins. In this climate we can grow vegetables all year round, so getting the soil right is paramount.”

If you don’t already have a prepared area in your garden to grow vegetables and the thought of digging out your lawn makes you shudder, there is a great way to build new beds using the “Lasagna Method.” Her-riot has a great section in her book giving instructions and I have used this method to great success in the past.

First, decide the perimeters of the garden or bed then cover with a thick dusting of dolomite lime followed with a two-inch layer of manure, fresh or aged. Next, cover with a layer of plain cardboard, overlapping layers but omitting any coloured ink. Wet it down thoroughly then add a mixed layer of hay, grass clippings and leaves followed by another layer of aged manure and then rake until it’s level. Top everything with

a half-yard of topsoil and water well. You can plant right away into the top layer and because of the high fertility of the bed, you can plant pretty intensively.

Don’t be discouraged if you don’t have a sunny garden or balcony because there are lots of things you can grow; leafy greens, peas, chard, kale and beet greens for example. And don’t forget pots of herbs. Be adventurous and grow exotic herbs to infuse Indian and Chinese dishes.

The main thing is don’t be intimidated. There isn’t a gardener in the whole world who knows everything about gardening. Everyone has successes and failures; one year the tomatoes and carrots are fantastic the next year a dismal failure. Who cares, just get out there, I know you’ll love it.

Now’s a good time to start planting your vegetablesYou may not be You may not be able to grow every able to grow every vegetable, but it’s vegetable, but it’s possible to grow possible to grow soemthing even in a soemthing even in a small space.small space.

Carolyn Herriot, author of The Zero-Mile Diet, has tips for growing vegetables and herbs year-

round. The right soil is paramount, so she suggests concentrating on that fi rst.Submitted photos

Come home to natural gas

Your home is perhaps your most important investment. It costs money to maintain it, and needs energy to run it. By choosing the right energy for the right use, you can maximize energy efficiency and value for your energy dollars.

Natural gas is a good choice for heating, whether it’s hot water for a shower or warmth from the furnace or fireplace. It’s also great for barbecuing burgers on the patio. And, with the variety of stylish natural gas appliances and rebates available, upgrading your appliances to natural gas is more affordable. Find energy efficiency rebates that meet your needs at fortisbc.com/offers.

Natural gas makes your summers seem endless A natural gas barbecue never runs out of fuel. If you have a natural gas patio heater or fire pit, you can stay outside long after summer‘s over. And when that blustery storm hits, you can stay warm and well fed with a natural gas fireplace and range. Both will continue working during a power outage.

For comfort, convenience and value balance your home’s energy mix with natural gas. Visit fortisbc.com/savingenergy to watch our video on how natural gas fits into your everyday life.

Natural gas offers comfort, convenience and value
